okay I doubt this will make sense to a good amount of people but I just realised autism (for me) is like playing hockey in figure skates.
You can skate, and you can still play the game with the people around you, but you have to figure out and learn work arounds because the skates are fundamentally different. It may not be different enough to be noticeable to others from a first glance. The frozen pond is the same. The sticks are fine. The puck is a puck. But your movements are jerky because you don’t have the right skates. You try to adapt to the right skates, but it just feels wrong (even if they’re just like your rollerblades, the purpose and environment is different). So when you play with people who have the right equipment, who can use it to the best of their abilities, you seem slower and are fumbling around. Your movements are different, clunkier. You aren’t doing as good but you’re having fun! In some sort of form you are playing hockey, not like the NHL or anything, but you’re having a good time and are playing by the rules set. Maybe though, you get really good at playing hockey in figure skates. But then you get worn out trying to accommodate for the issues you do have, and you have to go skate off to do figure eights or just leisurely gliding.
But with autism, you can’t just nope out and be fine. When you only feel comfortable using figure skates and you play hockey with your family, your younger sibling may mock you for being too clunky. But there’s still an understanding that your skates aren’t just made for that and the workarounds take a lot out. That’s not possible in school or work. So sticking with the skating metaphor, you’re forced to keep playing and your mind is trying to control the body while thinking of your next move and your eyes are on the puck, and next think you know you’re head first in a snowbank.
but this isn’t really a disability, because you can still do it, right?

Minor thing that really irks me is when people treat the femc route in p3 portable as like the lesser story or like it’s a fanfic where nothing that happens in it is the “true” canon like. Bitch. The femc and everything that happens in her version of the story is just as canon as the male protagonist and everything that happens in his story. And there’s literally been so many fucking versions of p3 at this point like the base game, fes, portable, the movies, stage plays, reload, as well as spinoffs and manga and they all do things differently. I don’t see anyone acting like the base game is more canon than, say, reload so why do they do this with portable? Why can’t the (infinitely superior) version with the female protagonist just be respected for five fucking minutes goddamn

Whether or not someone is queer is not your fucking decision nor business. You are not permitted to label a living breathing fucking person queer or not queer just cuz u think they "do queer things". Shut the fuck up you sound fucking stupid. That is none of your goddamn business. It will never be your fucking business. Back the fuck up. Jesus christ dude

lila getting with griffin / g reign and having their little thing in “secret” not only bc it’s what her parents did to each other to get back at the other for slights and arguments but also bc she wanted to not only get back at seven but also to be like “oo look at me i can pull griffin freaking reign i won teehee.” and then the clown catches real feelings for griffin and calls jazz near in tears bc she’s just like her mom 🥀✨🎸🤡 and using someone she loves to get back at someone who she loved may or may not have even loved (i think she did but loved more the idea ? it’s complicated!) but loved the IDEA of seven loving her? dear you know it everyone knows it you want to be loved so bad!!!!!! the sooner you admit that lila the sooner you’ll be much happier my love! so excited to see where things go for her ! and things for her and her beloved g!!!!!
